Fascist Obama Campaign Website Maligns Romney Donors... is This the American way?

Where did you get that definition? That doesn't describe "Religious Cult" at all.

Here's some research for you. This is real... Not your BS
1. "The word CULT in current popular usage usually refers to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre."

2. "The perspectives of a CULT share the assumption that some form of coercive persuasion or mind control is used to recruit and maintain members by suppressing their ability to reason, think critically, and make choices in their own best interest."

3. When you are looking at a group of people who use not only mind control but obvious devices to keep you from family and friends, making an exit impossible to leave, threaten you and shame you if you question leaving....these are the things a TRUE Cult is.

Basic religious services, are just that. Basic religion. You have a freedom of choice, thought, most don't shame. You provide community help. You are not told who to associate with or how much money to hand over. This is not considered to be "cult like" behavior. It's more social.

I mean.....is that not obvious to you?
Do you not understand what Cult really means?
#3 on YOUR list was the only one that fit the Cult following definition as a "Religious Cult".

Why did you show Sharpton? He's just a media whore. Not a Cult member.
Then you showed Rev. Wright! He's a bigoted Zealot that Obama dropped after he made his "Egomaniac" statements.

I don't think you know what you are talking about,
Google Church of the Latter Day Saints.
Do you realize it's not even Christian Based?
A MAN made the religion up.
You CANT enter their Temple unless you are a Practicing Mormon.
You can't discuss your rituals.
If you leave the Church you are EXILED...like cant talk to your family.
Joseph Smith?

Really....you don't know this?

The definition I posted is from Websters dictionary, what is YOUR source?
Now I know where You are coming from, a political/social definition of what is acceptable based on social beliefs...
Of course Your definitions are created by and changed, by men, to conform to their current sociopolitical needs at the time; see National Socialist German Workers' Party or Social Democratic Party of Russia, they did the same thing the Progressive Liberals are doing now in the United States.
You and Your Progressive Socialistic party define things as needed to conform to their agenda, and people like You suck it up.
What right do You or any of Your ilk have to question the tenets of any other religion for political gain.
You show no more than a religious hate zealot, I would imagine a person like You could find something about every religion to demean someone; it reveals You as no more than a hypocrite.
Based on Your words, I quote:
"conservatives HATE GAYs, HATE feeding the poor, HATE women's rights for their bodies, HATE non-Christians, HATE those who think differently or Hell...those who think."
You are no more than a hate monger willing to distort any truth or belief to advance your political agenda. Your saying Conservatives HATE non-Christians, yet You are the one saying Romney is a non-Christian and You hate his religion, (He is a Republican by the way).... It seems that the hater here is YOU. which is it, You can't have it both ways.
Typical behavior for two faced Progressive Liberals...

No not comparing....the are Cults. The definition is the first thing that popped up on my Internet when I Googled it for you. The rest of the definition I wrote since studying Cults in college. You got a general definition of cult. There can be cult movies, cult followings of groups like Treakies, and yes, SOME people might put common religions in that status.

I've said "religious cults" for a reason.
Here are the top ten in America since you have decided to be so defiant in doing your own research.

This is a study from a common Christian website.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormonism).
A very subtle, spiritual deception started in 1830 by Joseph Smith. This aggressively evangelistic group contends that it is the only true Church, and that all Christians outside Mormonism are following a deficient Gospel and a false Christ.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (Jehovah's Witnesses).
Militantly anti-historic Christian tenets. This group began in the 1870s with Charles Taze Russell. They not only deny the essentials of the Christian faith, but the control exercised over the membership is highly destructive.

The Church of Scientology.
A do-it-yourself salvation, science fiction group that masquerades as the true Church, lightly sprayed with a thin veneer of Christianity. Seeks to destroy through litigation and character assassination those who speak out against the group.

The Twelve Tribes.
This group began in the early 1970s with Elbert Eugene Spriggs. They claim that salvation can only be found by giving all possessions to them and living in their community. All personal decision-making power is given over to the leadership.
An open letter to a prospective member of the Messianic Communities (aka Twelve Tribes) -

The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (Unification Church).
Founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, this highly authoritarian and destructive group teaches that Jesus failed on the cross. Moon is now the mediator between God and man.

The International Churches of Christ (Boston Movement).
This highly evangelistic group which began in 1978 with Kip McKean embraces most of the main tenets of the historic Church. Teaches that it is the only true Church and is highly authoritarian, with immense control over members' lives.

The Family (Children of God).
This communal group was founded by David “Moses” Berg. A strange mixture of basic Christian tenets and almost total sexual license. Very controlling and manipulative.

Christian Identity Movement (Aryan Nations, Christian Identity Church, Klu Klux Klan, etc.).
A loose-knit confederation of various small groups that are militantly anti-government and conspiracy driven. Each group holds differing, deviant Christian tenets. All hold to Caucasians being the descendants of the ten “lost” Tribes of Israel, God's true people.

The Nation of Islam (Black Muslims).
Began in 1930s by W. D. Fard. Group teaches that the black man is good, the white man is the devil, and that Jesus was merely a prophet. Highly controlling group.

United Pentecostal Church (UPC).
A highly controlling, legalistic group that was formed in 1945. This group denies the Trinity and teaches that in order to be saved one must be baptized in the name of
Jesus only.

There are many more new ones.

I'm not being combative, You are simply blinded by ideology.
Here:
In 1823, Joseph Smith said he was visited by an angel named Moroni, who told him of an ancient record containing God's dealings with the former inhabitants of the American continent. In 1827, Joseph retrieved this record, inscribed on thin golden plates, and shortly afterward began translating its words by the "gift of God."3 The resulting manuscript, the Book of Mormon, was published in March 1830. On April 6, 1830, Joseph Smith organized The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and became its first president.

Joseph married Emma Hale on January 18, 1827, and was described as a loving and devoted husband. They had eleven children (two adopted), only five of whom lived past infancy. During the thirty-nine years of his life, Joseph established thriving cities in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois; produced volumes of scripture; sent missionaries throughout the world; orchestrated the building of temples; served as mayor of Nauvoo, one of the largest cities in Illinois, and as general of its militia, the Nauvoo Legion; and was a candidate for the presidency of the United States. He was a controversial figure in American history—beloved of his followers and hated by his detractors. Joseph was persecuted much of his adult life and was killed along with his brother Hyrum by a mob in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844.

You have a right to disagree with him but You have no right to judge him.

Here are my top ten.... what to compare Your poltical list against reality?

Religious Cults: The Popular View
What exactly are religious cults? With such a large number of religious organizations and movements in the world today, it's important to understand what we mean when we start labeling certain groups. The dictionary defines cult as "a system of religious worship or ritual"; "devoted attachment to, or extravagant admiration for, a person, principle, etc." According to this definition, any believer in any god is a member of a cult. In the popular media, a cult is typically defined as a religious sect whose members are "controlled" by a manipulative organization or individual. This kind of cult is usually portrayed as deceptive, requiring absolute loyalty from its followers. Members are often removed from their prior lives altogether, including their jobs, homes and families. The Hare Krishnas, Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, and Moses David Berg's Family of Love are some popular examples of this type of cult.

Religious Cults: The Christian Perspective
Christians define religious cults from a different perspective. Simply, a cult is any religious group that deviates from the fundamental teachings of the historic, Bible-based, Christian faith as confirmed through the ancient ecumenical creeds. Generally, if a religious organization follows Jesus Christ, but denies or distorts essential Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the resurrection, or salvation by grace alone, that organization is considered a cult. Traditional examples are the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, the Unity School of Christianity, and the Way International.
